my firends mum is thinking of selling her car and i wondered if anyone knows of anywhere that does free valuations as we have no idea of what it could be

 

its a 2002 bmw 318ti se compact, it has 25000 miles on it asnd is like new literally, still has the original tyres lol

 

never gets thrashed and has full service history (not bmw though i dont think, first ones were for warranty)

 

only extras are foldy mirrors, painted door handles and thats all im aware of

 

this car is very well looked after

 

anyone know what it could be worth, ive lookwed on the usual ebay and so forth but the prices range drastically lol

 

thanks

And there is your answer right after your question.

 

Enter the reg on "We buy any car" sight for a bottom trade/cash value.

Nip into WH Smith and pick up Glasses guide and find the car. Then put it back on the shelf.

No sense paying for it.

 

Vauxhall's website used to allow 3 valuations for any IP address. No idea if they still do this.

will nip into local newsagent and have a gander, never thought of that lol

we buy any car says £1300, think it could be worth a bit more than that lol, its like it just rolled out the factory lol

Well the printed guides are just that.... a guide.

 

I can do a free valuation!!!

If she is just "thinking" about selling then any "price" anyone comes up with now wont be valid if and when she decides to sell.

We buy any car is an accurate "trade cash " price for the car today.

It could be worth more..... yep but to whom?? How much more ?? and when???

 

I hope you get the drift ... or this thread could carry on all nite:blink:

Im sure you cant get glasses guide in shops for trade only .

You can get Parkers guide. You can do it on line but they charge for older cars. I would put an ad in BMW magazine or something like that

....But that is what I'll wager Lexx was thinking...!

 

Online you can try here:

But as harsh as it sounds, Pete is right. These are all just guides; you said it yourself mate, when the valuations vary so much, it's hard to say. Going from your own comments about the condition, then she may as well start at the higher end of the valuations you have seen and come down from there!

I would say about 2.5k. I've just bought a mint. 325ti with 50k on the clock but was a demo car so has all the bits

asnd is like new literally, still has the original tyres lol

 

hmm!

Bit of a clash there .

Like new!

11 year old tyres.
